It think it should be said that while there are plenty of weapons that ignore cover, they pretty much aren't ap3 or better and since princes should also have a 3+ armor, ignoring their 3+ cover won't matter since you'll not be ignoring their 3+ armor as well.

I agree with you, but I think that with the existing 3+ already, there's no point to sink in the points for a GUO tax to make them Nurgle. And on top of that you'd still have a 5++ anyway.

If you're up against Tau then whatever lol.

Overall, the cost > benefits for me at least.

I don't think it's fair to say the DP is weak at assault due to bad rolling. It's good against a lot of things in CC and certain things are counters to it which is normal.

I never said they were weak either. I said they will die in assault.

Greater etherblade+Iron Arm+Forewarning+Grimoire+Daemon of tzeentch.

This makes for a T6-8 monster with a 2++ rerollable invulnerable save and hits ludicrously hard. Even Abaddon can't beat that in assault.

Rare, yes, but devastating? It is perhaps the MOST devastating assault unit in the game, it's just that buffed Swarmlord more consistently shows up.

You said they literally die in assault to anything that can swing back. I think that makes them sound pretty weak. But this is the internet and no one admits they're wrong, so I think I'm done with this subject.
